My assumption is that they did try to book her for this year and she turned it down - but will be back next year with a new show for festivals and will do a run of them like Primavera, BST or Roskilde.

But that's just an assumption?, I mean I'm shocked given her tour dates she wasn't there, but then I was shocked given Paramore Taylor support dates they didn't do Reading. Sometimes the most obvious options have other plans I guess. Nothing even suggests to me they will play it next year and that'll be 2 and a half years after the album release.

 

One thing I'll say is Olivia is the hardest ticket I've tried to get on twickets, I admit the odd time there has been one around for £115 but I'm bothered about 4 songs realistically and she's not someone I would say I often look on Spotify for. I'll be honest, the only reason I spent a lot of time trying to grab a ticket was the risk of not getting Gkas tickets

Don't think she'd smash it?

I'd live to see her on the Pyramid, but like 3rd or 4th down. I don't think she's even Legend Slot calibre.

It's an assumption, but it makes a lot of sense 

[JonSnow]

Sour came out May21

Guts came out Sep23

 

Cant see any reason why album 3 cant come out sometime around the summer of 2025 with a run of festival slots alongside it

[A Particular Grey Chihuahu]

I thought Bruce Springsteen would play this year but it wasn't to be. Maybe next year?

[CaledonianGonzo]

O-Rod, Dave and The Boss

There isn't a reason it can't but right now there is no substance to it. I think Reading is a strong option too, as is BST. For Reading I think both Dua Lipa and Reading will be in their sights.

Tbh yeah I mean I wouldn't go against it. I'm highly in the thought mode that Fender will be one. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Offering up the Boss and Fender in the same year would be a bit odd, and if they're going to pick one of them it'll be Bruuuuce.

[FloopFiller]

Bruce by his own admission is currently on his ‘I want a lot of money’ era of touring so not sure if Glastonbury and their tenner and a pint of cider payday would play in to that, but here’s hoping he can slot it in amongst other higher paying festival dates. 
 

ORod as good as nailed on.

[glimmers_of_hope]

O- rod seems like it's got legs. 

 

I think that there will be a big ol' rock band next year. I'm expecting someone like red hot chili peppers, green day, muse. Probably the easiest of these would be Muse. 

 

Beyond that there are plenty of options. 

 

Would be interested in seeing what Dave releases over the next 12 months but he must be in the frame. 

 

Probably say the same about Fred again and Sam Fender although seems unlikely they would headline glasto after Reading this year.

 

Not sure if the rehabilitation of kings of leon has actually happened but potentially they could be in the mix.

There is this actually and he's youred enough since his appearance as well that if they offered and he fancied it he could have been either of 23 or 24. Of they approached Stevie Wonder one point then Bruno could have been. 

 

With that said, im still at O-Rod, Rihanna, Fender and Dave. I think itsyhe natural step for both those last two who have done Reading and a BST date wouldnt rule them out.

It would be awful if Muse were booked again, at least Coldplay are maining their status wherever as Muse are very much in arena band territory again now.

He is, but by next year he'll have down European stadium tours for three consecutive summers. Given prices I think he's probably shaken down the market as much as he can for the time being.

 

But the Prague date coming indicates something happening and rescheduled dates, maybe a few more shows in countries he's not been to in a while - plus a number of festivals wouldn't be too outlandish.

[NorthernSoul52]

Given the general lack of festivals across the two runs so far, makes me think next year could simply be festivals with a handful of the rescheduled shows included.

[NorthernSoul52]

Dublin show the other week was a cracker though. Top-drawer stuff.

[gherkin8r]

So we're pretty much settled on Muse, Haim and Chaka Khan for next year's headliners then

I mean, Muse still had 50k+ at MK Bowl last summer and getting out the venue after was a nightmare so could've fooled me into think they're no longer at the stadium level.

 

Though I think they're likelier to turn up at BST Hyde Park than Glastonbury next year.

Given a large amount of tickets are still available to all their June/July shows, I think that rehab is still a work in progress.

C&S are headlining MK Bowl as well, they aren't about to be booked to headline Glastonbury though.

 They are charging way too much.

Olivia Rodrigo was absolutely unreal at the o2 and would be a great headliner for next year.  I personally think she’ll do Glastonbury, a couple of BST dates, some overseas fests and her rearranged stuff in Manchester next year

I'm not pretending that Muse are still the same level that they were in 2010 or even 2016, but they did stadium shows on their last two tours and sold healthy numbers so I think they're just about holding on. Whether that continues for the next LP is another matter. But even then, I don't expect them to do Glastonbury next year.

 

As for KOL, name an act who isn't charging an excessive fee this summer. Killers are more expensive per ticket and still aren't sold out at a lot of their shows. Hell, The National at Crystal Palace is £70 when fees are applied, which feels steep.

Same here tbf. But it could well be that they decided that 50 shows between May and August was enough.

 

Would've been more enticed to go to Reading if they were there given I got really into Paramore last year but just missed the boat for their shows with Bloc Party last April.

Yeah, it sort of feels like that (thank goodness).

Personally I think it would be a extremely weak choice for a number of reasons.

I have to say I've listened to a few clips of her on this tour and the voice didn't sound great. Obviously I know being there is different but you can generally tell to a point. I'm not devastated I didn't get a ticket as for me the cost was too high and it was only ever going to be an offer accepted on twickets but they were selling so quick that nobody really had to accept an offer.

£70 for The National just sounds barmy! And no you are right it's madness.

Me too although my favourite Paramore days are well past date.

[NorthernSoul52]

Have Muse ever actually played Hyde Park in London?
